[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tips for colleagues - 
If I'm looking for something you know off the top of your head, why wouldn't I utilize you as a resource? Seems like a much better use of time if you're right there and I ask you for something/information.

Just a thought! [/quote]

No, it's a use of a good resource. If you don't think of yourself as a good resource for a younger colleague, you're a sourpuss and need to get over yourself.  It doesn't do anyone any good to resource horde.  Of course, if it's something the employee has specifically been given or shown how to do, that's different.  
I'm the lowest on the totem pole and people ask me to find things ALL the time that are public information.  They sometimes go, "wow, that was fast!"  yes, it is the most recent press release on the Senator's web site, but since you're too old to know how the internet works (or you're on a powertrip and like tasking people), you had me find it.  In the time it took you to tell me what you were looking for, old person, you could have already had it.

it works both ways!
